Hi,

this sound very good, by doing so KDE would gain all the benefits from
the TCPSlaveBase while still being able to use OpenLDAP.

IMHO it would be nice to have this undocumented feature made a documented
one - to make sure it will be there in future versions of OpenLDAP as well.

Any idea who is to be asked for this?
